LEMON POSSET
- 500 ml fresh cream
- 170 g castor sugar
- 60 ml fresh lemon juice
- finely grated zest from 1 small lemon
Pour the cream, castor sugar and lemon zest into pot and bring to boiling point while stirring. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Add the lemon juice, stir through and simmer another minute.
Take off the heat and allow to cool down a bit.
Pour into heat proof ramekins or pretty cups.
You can cool it down a bit more and then pour into martini glasses.
Put into fridge overnight or until completely cold.
Serve garnished with fresh berries of choice, mint leaves and shortbread.
This is a traditional British dessert which I only discovered while in Cornwall UK.
Note:
Depending on the size of your portion, this would make two generous or 4 small portions.
It’s a very rich dessert so small portions are perfect.
The bowl in my photo is a large portion which two can share… think Valentine’s Day 💕
